Well, I was going to say the Steelers in this one, but im starting to think Miami might edge them out. It seems Pittsburgh has a lot of things surrounding them and Big Ben. Although Charlie Batch was 2-0 stepping in last season for Big Ben, I still think that this Miami team will get the best of them.
Also, Pittsburgh didn't show a very impressive pre-season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Pittsburgh 1-3 or 0-4 last pre-season?

The Dolphins have won there last 6 games, and the Steelers there last eight including the playoffs. If this defense picks up where they left off, I dont see Miami doing much of anything.
Everyones so quick to judge a team who hasn't really lost much of anything this off-season. If you look at the teams past two seasons, Ben Roethlisberger hasn't done much but stay poise when he needs it. He's not the greatest quarterback on a team that runs 35 times a game.
Pittsburgh pulls out the win and everyone realizes that the Dolphins arent as good as everyone thinks and that the Steelers are serious about a title defense.

So Miami's a bit overrated huh? At least by SI...Super Bowl aspirations have to be out of the question because they are nowhere near good enough. Culpepper sucks and...I knew Pittsburgh would win, even with Batch, Miami has nothing to offer except Ronnie Brown who clearly has no offensive line.

Big Ben isn't playing, they lost Randel El....there is 2/3 of their offense down the drain, they had a hard time scoring as it was, but now it will be even tougher Randle El = massively overrated and it clearly got to his head this offseason. |

Randle El, if given the #1 spot on a team who can throw the ball(as it is an any occasion that makes a receiver), could be a start wide receiver. He has blazing speed with the awareness to go with and he's always had a nack for getting loose on either coverages or with the ball.
He didn't get big headed in the off-season, half of his family lives in Washington, and it just so happens that Dan Snyder over pays his players beyond beleif. He didn't choose to leave Pittsburgh, they told him to look for a new job, because they were planning on reassiging(trading) him anyways.
Now that that's cleard up.... it's evident that the 8 of you who chose Miami watch SportsCenter and not the real games haha. Roethlisberger was like 9-20 and 2 ints in the superbowl. Something tells me Charlie Batch could have done that lol.
The steelers are the steelers, and if anybody brings up that challange... i will kick them. It seems to be the topic surrounding the game, when the Steelers would have clearly scored the touchdown(being Batch wouldnt fumble again).

Ehm, who said that Pittsburgh would be fine with Batch at QB?
Oh yeah, me and a precious few others. Woot.
Randle El's not that great. He can run the trick plays and do the returns, but as a wide reciever, he's nothing special at all.

After watching last nights game I realized that I've got a problem. Brown is on my fantasy team and he has no blockers. He still racked in the points with 2 TD's, but he's gotta get more than 30 yards a game!

I don't really see how you are so hot on Batch already. I understand 3 TDs and 0 picks is very good against anyone, but he played one of the oldest defenses in the league. I thought Miami would win, and they should have, but Culpepper screwed them. Batch is lucky Big Ben is going to be back or he would get eaten alive by better defenses with more speed...I am not saying the Dolphins are bad on defense, but they aren't exactly the best defensive team either With what you said last night about the Dolphins and your so called prediction... im not buying a thing of what you just said  |

He still racked in the points with 2 TD's, but he's gotta get more than 30 yards a game! Brown's a solid receiver. Even if he gets 30 yards of rushing per game, you could bet on a solid amount of yards out of the backfield. He's a threat to score either way. |

I think Randel El can be a good receiver, after the catch. That is where the problem is, can he gain enough separation to be a top receiver on a team?

I never said he was going to break records and steal Big Ben's job. I never said he was a long-term solution. |
